books of 2012

I just updated my reading list for 2012. It's here if you're interested. (Or over there on the left sidebar, under Not Just Cookbooks).

I like reading other peoples' lists of books and brief reviews. One of my favourites is Eric Idle's. (I hadn't read this for a few months so when I popped over to grab the link for you I took a moment to read the last couple of months' book entries and chuckled to see his [far more erudite and witty] review of The Daylight Gate speaks of it as mercifully brief, just as I did. Not sure why it gives me a little thrill of validation when someone famous agrees with me but there you go. Me and Mr Idle, soul mates. Do yourself a favour and read his blog while you're over there. It's worth it).

Aah, holidays. This is what January looks like. For another week anyway.

A good reading year by the look of it. All the books you (and other blogger mates) read stay in my head until I remember at the opshop - I'm a year behind but have read many great books this way. Thank you!

I love that photo of you relaxing. t looks just how I feel January should be.

I have to agree with your comments on Jean Plaidy. I love historical royal history too, and these are my favourite authors - Elizabeth Chadwick - especially her books on William Marshall and Sharon Kay Penman. A lot of research has gone into these and I have had many "bad mummy" days while engrossed in these.
